Description of achievement and assessment methods:

The aim of the written examination (60 minutes) is to prove that the concepts essential for the fundamentals of
sustainability have been understood, can be condensed and can be applied., in particular national and international
sustainability concepts with associated social, ecological and economic aspects as well as planning approaches for
sustainable development. In order to do this, problems must be detected and solved in a limited time and only with
the help of a simple pocket calculator and given formulas. The examination questions cover the entire lecture

Study goals:
At the end of the module students are able to understand and analyse the national and international approaches of
sustainability (the interrelationship of social, ecological and economical aspects) and to create possible starting points
of sustainable development.

Teaching and learning methods:

The course is held in the form of lectures with seminar elements, e. g. in the form of scientific discussions and short

This enables an intensive exchange with the students including answering questions promptly within the framework of
the lectures and via the eLearning platform.
